In the United States, at the turn of the 20th century, “Boston Marriage” referred to the cohabitation of wealthy, independent women. Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet uses the term for his play, which features two women and a maid. However, despite being a seemingly conventional story, its sophisticated drawing-room language soon gives way to coarseness and heated quarrels. The three leading ladies of this lively play, directed by Giorgio Sangati, are Maria Paiato, Mariangela Granelli and Ludovica D’Auria.
